The Harrison special offer is to get the reverb and echo bundle for free when purchasing Mixbus 3 or Mixbus 32C-3. The offer lasts while they are at NAMM. Both bundled plugs are quite usable. The 3D echo, a kind of triple echo placable in the stereo field is very similar to the one from Nomad Blue Tubes, that i use in Sonar - and it sounds even better with the Nomad one not sounding bad at all. I had the direct comparison because i remixed a song in Mixbus, creating the same vocal effect with the Harrison one. As near as it can get in parameters, the Harrison sounded just more 3D, right away. The GUI of these plugs is very reduced and follows the "one parameter per GUI element" dogma of Mixbus, and it is very well designed, all parameters make absolute sense, very usable ranges, hard to make it sound bad. But the nice new feature of 3.4, which is coming this week, is the following function, that is very useful, at least if you have the task of getting the boom out of a few tracks, it is the "Polarity Maximiser". It integrates perfectly in the GUI, where you expect a phase tool, right on the top of the tracks. Great to get this integrated instead of doing it manually or using clumsier 3rd party plugins...

What i really really like about this feature: They got right, what others do actually wrong IMHO. No, it is not phase sliding. It is compute best polarity settings. Just the limitation that consoles have, and so it sounds simple, it is not and i really like that they take care of not destroying stereo images, which most probably is the case in the phase alignment tools on the market. This one is more subtle, but impossible to do manually. But i am for sure not the only one who thought once in a while - Damn, i wish i had a bit more time for this, only to do it a bit better. Still knowing it is guess works and a bit of a matter of luck, which i find not too pleasing. i could do more than guessing and switch only a few combinations of polarity. I always thought that this is not sufficient, but, well, there was no such thing like this one now, that i am aware of. I guess it's a Harrison exclusive, an enhancement you wish it would be possible on your analog console. Fits perfectly into this product line.

It's like they read my posts here. Misunderstood them, but read them and figured they'd do something related to the concept.

Sounds like an average marriage. Sort of.
